University
 is a place where
people
 can learn higher subjects,

university
 is not the only place where
people
 can enhance their knowledge base. Society accepts that examination is a proper way to distinguish
people
 who are suitable to continue their studies at a
university
. I strongly agree that universities should offer places for
people
 with high marks.
First
, unlike roads, public parks, or shopping malls, universities need a large amount of various investment that takes over years. A
university
 may not only consist of buildings, teachers and facilities, the intrinsic unseen factors are even more important: teaching materials, accumulated research documents, and the reputation that constantly attracts students and researchers. All these can take decades to be established and well maintained.
Therefore
, the
university
 is a highly limited resource and determined to serve only a few
people
, and those
people
 need to be good enough at learning, studying and research,
otherwise
 the costly resource will be wasted.
Secondly
, the
university
 is not a good choice for all ages of
people
.
University
 education is designed to encourage
people
 to think independently and explore unknown areas of human knowledge. It usually takes three or more years to let a
university
 student be a qualified graduate. Imagine if all
people
 go to
university
 and take years to finish their studies, what would happen to our society? A bus driver who graduated in engineering that can build a rocket or a car dealer who can calculate the orbit of Mars? Students without high marks should take a different routine rather than rush into
university
 and learn unnecessary subjects. To summarise, our
university
 is a limited resource so only a few
people
 should be allowed to attend and
people
 who do not well in school should take a different path in their future.
